A mathematical program and computer program were developed to simulate two-phase slug flow in inclined pipelines. The model was based on the sink/source concept at the pipeline connections. The hydrodynamic flow model was also used to calculate the film liquid holdup in horizontal and inclined pipelines. The possibility of pseudo-slug generation was found to increase at large pipe diameters. At low sink capacities, no pseudo-slugs were generated at high superficial velocities.
